Description
The Zeryab Arabic Shami Oud – Traditional Levantine Style is a handcrafted Arabic oud built in the authentic Shami (Levantine/Syrian) tradition, prized for its warm, slightly dry tonal character and expressive response. Crafted by the renowned Zeryab workshop of the Ali Khalifeh family, this oud reflects generations of expert luthiery combined with thoughtful modern refinements for stability and consistent playability. Offered in two assorted natural finish variants, both versions share identical construction, materials, and sound—differing only in visual appearance.
